Kejriwal Advocates for Free Bus Travel for Students Amid Calls for NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam Support

In anticipation of the NEET UG re-examination scheduled for September 21, 2026, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has called on state governments across India to offer free bus travel for students participating in the exam. Kejriwal described the re-exam as an additional financial strain on families, highlighting the importance of support for those in need.

He commended the states of Bihar and Haryana for their initiatives to provide transport assistance to candidates, alongside Punjab, which has already implemented similar measures. Kejriwals appeal aims to encourage other states to consider establishing similar relief programs to ease the burden on students and their families.

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is a critical examination for students seeking admission into medical courses in India, making it essential for governments to support candidates during this challenging period. The call for free transport aligns with ongoing discussions about enhancing accessibility and support for students across the country during key educational events.
